Zhang Ying Hao put the black pistol onto the table.
What does he mean?
While they were curious, the black pistol suddenly stood up by itself and pointed at Gu Qing Shan.
“Hey there, little guy, how’s it been?”
The black pistol spoke.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised for a split second, then he recalled a familiar figure.
——-it was a powerful gun that was able to easily eliminate any enemy it wished.
When it pointed its nozzle at Triste, not even she dared to move recklessly.
Barry and Kitty were its mutual friends, both Yun Ji and Chen Wang called it their good brother.
But when it took on a scout mission to God Institute, it was defeated by the Soul Shrieker and was declared dead by the Spire Keeper Association.
“You are—— senior automatic machine gun!” he loudly said.
The black pistol replied: “It’s me, long time no see”
“Weren’t you killed in action?” Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked.
The black pistol angrily replied: “That monster was too powerful, only in my last moments did I realize that I couldn’t defeat it no matter what”
“And so…”
“I risked the last of my power right before my body thoroughly broke down to keep my most important parts, before drifting around in the space vortex for several dozen days until I finally reunited with those parts and reform as this handgun”
The black pistol then softly cleared its throat and solemnly spoke: “Let me introduce myself again, please call me Assault Handgun”
Gu Qing Shan looked at it, then at Zhang Ying Hao, and asked: “How did you come to know my friend?”
The black pistol replied: “Little Ying Hao’s abilities as a hitman were quite decent, and so were his skills with a handgun. The only thing lacking about him was his strength, but strength can always be obtained and improved”
“Little Ying Hao had been looking for a suitable handgun through the hitmen’s Spirit Summoning world, so after much consideration, I had a hunter friend of mine in the Spirit Summoning world to introduce us”
Zhang Ying Hao explained: “I had a deal with senior, it would fight alongside me, while I slowly collect parts for it to repair and eventually help it regain its peak condition”
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
He then recalled the wanted poster he saw of Zhang Ying Hao just a bit ago. At the time, Zhang Ying Hao was depicted to hold a Card in one hand and a black pistol in the other.
It seems he’s been using this pistol for a long time, solidifying his fighting style to the point that it has become part of the impression he gives off, thus being recorded that way.
“Nicely done” Gu Qing Shan praised, “I’ve always believed that sometimes, one’s equipment, as well as their brain, is worth a lot more than personal strength, and you’ve committed to that point quite well”
“It’s the same principle, killing is like hunting—— a beast will always be naturally stronger than a human, but humans will always have ways to borrow stronger external power and use an appropriate method to hunt a target” Zhang Ying Hao replied.
They then bumped their fists against one another.
At this point, the Bramble Bird General, Ilya came into the room and reported: “Your Majesty, the ceremony is about to begin, our guests from various worlds have arrived and are waiting to witness the occasion”
“Witness the occasion? What occasion?” Laura seemed confused.
“Your Majesty, have you forgotten? We’ve already sent news for the past while and intended to hold a ceremony to officially appoint Ye Fei Li as the Duke today afternoon” Ilya reminded her.
“Ah, so it was that. I’ve only just returned so it slipped my mind” Laura suddenly realized.
She turned to Ye Fei Li——– she held quite a good impression of Ye Fei Li right now——- since he was able to help her maintain her figure——- and also because he was Gu Qing Shan’s friend.
“Let’s go, Ye Fei Li, let me officially appoint you as our Duke in front of the 900 million World Layers” Laura told him.
“Wasn’t that only to lure Zhang Ying Hao here? Are we really going to do it?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“I’m the Empress, how could I go back on my words? Not to mention, you will definitely stand to fight alongside Gu Qing Shan and I in the future—— Gu Qing Shan, what do you think?” Laura asked.
“I have no objections, but with how many people were on our pursuit during our way back here, I think you shouldn’t personally show yourself” Gu Qing Shan told her.
Ilya agreed: “Your Majesty, I also need to report to you regarding that. We’ve received an anonymous tip that your safety will soon be greatly challenged”
“A treasure had already reminded me of my safety when I was on the ship, but who exactly was it that dared to try anything against me? Do they not fear the Bramble Great Tree? Or are they not afraid that I would use the 9000 worlds of treasures to bury them alive?” Laura asked in irritation.
Gu Qing Shan muses: “If the other party dares to show up, that means they naturally have means to reach you, there are simply too many strange and unusual abilities within the infinite worlds—– but our goal is also quite clear, we need to make sure the problem of your safety is dealt with once and for all”
“Do you have any good ideas?” Laura asked.
“Yes, I’ll replace you” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“You’ll replace me?” Laura was surprised.
“Hm, I’ll disguise myself as you, Lin and Zhang Ying Hao will stay with me. When the danger arrives, we’ll smash it by force, then use it to look for the source” Gu Qing Shan said.
Lin agreed: “That’s right. Being constantly watched by someone in the shadow isn’t something that you should drag on, it’s best to deal with it as soon and as thoroughly as possible”
Gu Qing Shan turned to the others: “What do you think?”
Zhang Ying Hao replied: “I see no issues”
He picked up Assault Handgun, then hid it somewhere out of sight.
Ye Fei Li also replied: “I’m fine with that as well”
Gu Qing Shan then turned to Laura and asked again: “Laura, what do you think?”
Laura clenched her fists worriedly: “Gu Qing Shan, are you confident about this?”
“This is nothing to worry about, any normal enemy would simply get crushed under our power, there won’t be any issues—– unless the one who arrives is the Soul Shrieker” Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Laura then relent: “Fine, I’ll agree to this, but how are you going to disguise as me? Do you need me to call a special make-up artist?”
“No need, I’ll just borrow a strand of your hair” Gu Qing Shan told her.
Hair?
Laura didn’t think much and pulled out a strand of her hair, putting it in Gu Qing Shan’s palm.
…
At another location.
Su Xue Er, Anna, and Ning Yue Chan were sitting on a large Card, borrowing the power of the chaotic wind of the space vortex to quickly move forward, heading towards the Mystic Zones.
Ning Yue Chan’s expression was turning heavier and heavier.
“We can’t continue like this; I can already sense an unstoppable great peril approaching” she said.
Anna asked: “I heard that all cultivators have their own spirit sense, is this your spirit sense?”
“Yes” Ning Yue Chan affirmed it, “I can almost see a vision of my own death, we can’t continue forward this way, we need to think of something”
Su Xue Er thought briefly and started to draw Cards from the void of space.
She drew a total of 12 Cards, selected the summoning Cards from them, and threw them all behind their path.
The Cards disappeared in the wind, turning into various heroic spirits of the Bloodsea to block the path.
Su Xue Er didn’t stop her hands, continued to draw more Cards then unleashing any summoning Cards she got.
In just a few moments, she had spent almost all the Soul Points she had.
“I hope this will buy us a bit more time”
Su Xue Er sighed.
“Let me see” Ning Yue Chan said and closed her eyes.
After a few moments of silence, she sighed.
“Not enough, the path of certain death is still immovable, something terrifying is getting closer and closer to us”
Su Xue Er and Anna were both exhausted.
In truth, they could also somewhat sense what was going on.
After all, a certain indescribable presence was gradually growing within the space vortex.
It was a sort of power that vastly overpowered their own, certainly not something they could resist again.
“There’s no other choice” Anna said.
She stood up and walked to the back of the giant Card.
Endless black flames started to burn on her body, her crimson red hair fluttering in the wind.
“Anna, what are you trying to do?” Su Xue Er asked.
Anna calmly replied: “I can already sense its presence, we can’t possibly win against it, and if this goes on, everyone will die. Since that’s the case, I might as well burn my life away trying to stop it”
Su Xue Er couldn’t help but weep a bit: “No! You can’t give up like this, we’re already approaching the Mystic Zones”
She mustered the rest of her Soul Points and threw the rest of the Cards in her hand towards the back of the flying Card.
“It’s useless, you and Ning Yue Chan need to take the [Demon King Order] over to Gu Qing Shan, this is related to his life and everything else, the two of you must survive”
Anna displayed a resolute grin:
“But I’m not carrying an [Order], so I’ll take up the job to stop the enemy”
Ning Yue Chan was moved.
She tapped her Inventory Bag and took out a bottle of pills, giving it to Anna.
“It’s a kind of pill that can overdraw your power, it might help you”
“Thank you” Anna didn’t hesitate to accept the bottle.
Ning Yue Chan replied: “I should be thanking you. I’m not afraid of death, but I have something that I must do, I owe you for this”
Anna continued: “Then I’ll——”
Her words were cut short.
「 Little Anna 」
A low voice resounded.
In the void of space, masses of black flames began to manifest out of nowhere.
The masses of flames fell onto the giant Card and manifested as a black hound.
“Hound Deity, why are you here!?”
After a brief moment of shock, Anna shouted.
Black Hound slowly walked up to her and smiled: 「 How could I have not come? I’ve been drinking your liquor for free for so long, now that you’re trying to rush to your death, of course, I need to help you out 」
Anna hesitantly: “But your powers wouldn’t be able to win against that—-”
「 No, things aren’t quite as simple as you think 」Black Hound cut her off again and spoke with a solemn expression: 「 From the faraway unknown history to today, it is finally time for this world to heed the final confrontation between [Order] and [Chaos], everything is heading to destruction. But you shoulder the heritage of the original God of Death, I cannot allow you to plunge yourself into the eternal embrace of darkness just yet 」
Anna was shocked.
God of Death…
From what I know, the seven Holy Churches were simply nothing but the acting servants of a certain mysterious will of God.
But from the looks of it, the Demigods of the Churches had their own hidden missions to fulfill.
At this time, another cluster of black flames manifested on top of the giant Card and turned into a giant Black Crow.
“Anna, hurry, you and the carriers of [Order], get onto my back, I will bring you away” Black Crow said.
“Crow Deity, you’re here as well!” Anna blankly muttered.
These two were Demigods of the Holy Church of Death, existing since eons ago and have always been loyal to the Holy Church.
——regardless of which ‘God’ held control over the Strife Zones, they had always been the same, silently working under them without openly retaliating or resisting.
The Black Crow of Death took the three girls on its back and said: “My speed is a bit slower than an Abyssal Behemoth, but with Black Hound stalling for us, I can probably take you to the Bramble Bird Kingdom!”
“But then, Hound Deity would—–” Anna said.
「 Don’t worry about me, I’ve accumulated the power of Death over countless millennia, I will leave after I have stalled it just a bit 」Black Hound told her.
It then leapt upwards, left the giant Card, then manifested as a towering humongous monster that blocked out the sky.
Dog head, humanoid body, its entire visage emanated a sense of solemnity while wielding a mysterious black scepter fully covered in runes.
「 Go, first help the [Order] survive, then it will be time for you to truly take on your mission 」
「 When the Apocalypse ends this era, the God of Death shall reawaken! 」
Black Hound’s voice resounded by Anna’s ears.
Anna couldn’t say anything else.
Black Crow had already spread its gigantic wings and carried them away.
Its speed was tremendously greater than the giant Card, streaking across the fog of the space vortex like a bolt of black lightning towards the deep the Mystic Zones.
